Hi guys,

today we continued to work on the story of the Once-Ler and you saw that he was not a monster when he was young. Here is what we said about his story:

When the Once-Ler discovered the place, he found* paradise.
Before, he didn't have success; he was sad. But when he arrived, he cried and he was* happy / ecstatic.
He first saw* the beautiful Truffula trees. The animals liked to play. Then the fish sang* and the Bar-Ba-Loots climbed in the trees. They made* a pyramid and ate* fruit.
-> In the past, the Once-Ler didn't look like a monster. He was* just an ordinary young man.

* Irregular verbs *
find -> found
be -> was / were
see -> saw
sing -> sang
make -> made
eat -> ate
